Just too put this report right on the actual facts of this story.
The firefighters never lifted this gentleman too firmer ground he was actually assisted back to his home by walking with the aid two Paramedics and one firefighter. I wish the ARGUS would report the facts on these incidents and give the front line staff of the Ambulance Service the recognition they deserve.
I know this is 100% accurate as i witnessed everything that happened.
